9.1.3.4 Load Transient Response

The load-step transient response is the output voltage response by the LDO to a step in load current, whereby output voltage regulation is maintained. There are two key transitions during a load transient response: the transition from a light to a heavy load and the transition from a heavy to a light load. The regions shown in Figure 9-9 and described in Table 9-9 are broken down in this section. Regions A, E, and H are where the output voltage is in steady-state.

Table 9-9 Load Transient Waveform Description
REGION DESCRIPTION COMMENT
A Regulation Regulation
B Output current ramping Initial voltage dip is a result of the depletion of the output capacitor charge
C LDO responding to transient Recovery from the dip results from the LDO increasing its sourcing current, and leads to output voltage regulation
D Reaching thermal equilibrium At high load currents the LDO takes some time to heat up. During this time the output voltage changes slightly.
E Regulation Regulation
F Output current ramping Initial voltage rise results from the LDO sourcing a large current, and leads to the output capacitor charge to increase
G LDO responding to transient Recovery from the rise results from the LDO decreasing its sourcing current in combination with the load discharging the output capacitor
H Regulation Regulation

The transient response peaks (VOUT(max) and VOUT(min)) are improved by using more output capacitance; however, doing so slows down the recovery time (Wrise and Wfall). Figure 9-10 shows these parameters during a load transient, with a given pulse duration (PW) and current levels (IOUT(LO) and IOUT(HI)).
